Integration With the Pentaho BA Server

Overview

Learn how to integrate directly with the Pentaho BA Server to publish reports.

You can easily publish a report to a variety of different output using the Report Designer Preview As and Export functions in the File menu. However, if you have a Pentaho BA Server in production, you can publish directly to it instead. Additionally, you can link two reports together so that they share selected resources.

Instructions in this section assume that the BA Server is accessible from the machine where you are using Report Designer. For information about configuring the BA Server, see the section called Configure the BA Server.
